Black Hole

About

Black Hole, briefly known as Black Hole II (1988) and New Black Hole (1989), was an enclosed steel roller coaster located at Alton Towers theme park near Alton in the English shire county of Staffordshire, United Kingdom. Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf and designed by Werner Stengel, the Jet Star 2 model opened to public in 1984 and operated until 2005. The track layout was enclosed within a large tent-like structure to provide a dark ride experience. The structure was a large green and yellow PVC-covered structure (which was re-themed in 1998 and re-coloured in blue), designed by Rudi Enos.
